Cellulose-derived battery separators have emerged as a viable sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic materials like polypropylene and polyethylene. Sourced from renewable biodegradable materials, cellulose derivatives—such nanofibers, nanocrystals, acetate, bacterial cellulose, regenerated cellulose—exhibit reduced environmental footprint while enhancing safety performance. One of the key advantages is its ability act hybrid separator, using unique properties improve performance durability systems. These can consist particles combined with supporting polymers, or even pure membrane enhanced by incorporation additives. Nevertheless, manufacturing encounters obstacles due constraints existing production techniques, including electrospinning, vacuum filtration, phase inversion. Although these methods are effective, they pose challenges for large-scale industrial application. This review examines characteristics derivatives, alongside various processing techniques fabricating assessing their efficacy in applications. Additionally, it will consider implications primary opportunities associated use energy storage Ultimately, underscores significance cellulose-based promising approach that aligns increasing demand technologies domain.
